DGN Jazz Ensemble to Play World Famous FitzGerald's Sunday Night

There are few places better known for jazz than FitzGerald's in Berwin, IL, built in the 1920s. This Sunday night, at 6 pm, the DGN Jazz Ensemble will perform an opening set for the Chicago Grandstand Big Band.

Cover is $10 for adults, and $5 for 17 and under. Come out and support the DGN Jazz Ensemble in a room that is rich with character and ambiance. Hope to see you there!

Fine Arts Department Philosophy

The philosophy of the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty is to offer students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes exposure to genres of music and art in a wide variety of creative and re-creative settings.

The three program goals that serve as tenets for the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty are:· To provide a productive and cooperative learning environment in which students of various backgrounds and ability levels may learn to achieve outstanding artistic results.· To engage students in a journey toward artistic and personal success at the highest level.· To develop in young people the appreciation, discrimination, analysis, and participation skills necessary to become lifelong consumers of the arts.
